It was a magical evening with a fantastic tour with the Werkself to Belgium. After the 1:1 in the first leg, I never got tired of emphasizing that the Bayer is stronger away than at home and can rock the thing at Union Saint-Gilloise. And so it came to pass.
We were still quite annoyed in the run-up, a good four hours drive to the stadium in Anderlecht for a measly 200 km, but in Brussels is always traffic chaos, I know from many business trips. In addition, the discussion in advance about the allocation of away tickets, everything strictly limited. Then the short-term reallocation one day before the game and 400 men shipped into the box to look behind the glass from the business armchair. But all the restrictions on the visiting fans did not help the Belgians, a 4:1 victory of the Werkself is the clear answer to all this.
As Xabi Alonso says, we have to look from game to game, and therefore we can not sit back. Sunday comes Leipzig and then we go to Union. The Werkself is still well on its way to Europe, but the road is still very, very long.
Nevertheless, today is the day: after more than 20 years, Bayer 04 is back in a semifinal in the European Cup. On the way to Budapest, the Werkself's opponent is now AS Rome in mid-May and it's away.
